There's a couple electrical boxes that flash a red LED light, don't know if that means anything.

It sounds like the pump ESC has gone up in smoke. Maybe...

So you should have Four little boxes (ESC's), Two that operate the Drive motor Tracks, One that operates the excavator turntable, and One that will probably look different from the other three (wrapped in shrink wrap), it will operate the pump/servo's. This ESC that runs the pump/valve servo's make sure that the wire's are all solidly hooked up.

there will be a reciever for the transmitter. All the esc's will be plugged into it, make sure that each of those plugs are secured in each plug in. The Red lights you see are the ESC's lighting up, they will change as you operate the different controls on your transmitter. I have had ESC's go out on my drive motors, but I have also run into loose wires alot. So make sure everything is hooked up good. Possibility the ESC needs to be reset also.

I will get back to you shortly after Christmas to see how you are doing, we will figure it out.
